The Mystical City of God in a Year with Fr. Edward Looney

A close reading of Judas’s ambition and avarice shows how hypocrisy, loss of infused faith, and contempt for Mary paved his ruin; practical takeaways call listeners to humility, detachment from wealth, and reliance on Mary’s intercession. 📖 Get the Books Here: https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-mystical-city-of-god-set/ 🙏 More from Fr.

About Podcast

What do we know about Jesus and Mary? For starters, what the evangelists recorded in the gospels. Throughout Church history, mystics have received visions of the life of Jesus and Mary and recorded them as biographies. One such mystic was Venerable Maria of Agreda who authored The Mystical City of God, a four-volume book totaling more than 2,000 pages. It's a daunting task to read, but Marian theologian Fr. Edward Looney has partnered with TAN Books to read it in a year. Join him as he reads and provides reflections daily.
